we look forward to see what the pentagon has to say. john. >> as you pointed out again and again, the u.s. has not commented to us about the authenticity of the videos. they could be fake. but if they are real, what does it say about the sophistication of the iranian intelligence system? >> reporter: it's too early to make that kind of assessment, john, because it's too early to figure out exactly what iranian officials have extracted from this drone. this is obviously a high-tech machine, stealth technology. you can be sure iran is trying to clone it, but we don't know if they have done that yet. it looks like they have managed to decode the video. one thing you can be sure they'll do is they'll use this in the information war against the u.s. they will bolster their position that the u.s. is a bully in the region, meddling in sovereign affairs of other countries with drones and it's going to be part of the information war that these two countries have been locked in for a long time, john. >> thanks, reza. >> there's going to be a lot

that will quite trivial by comparison that's my worst case i want to ask you about the new face of the pentagon chuck hagel he allowed himself to say right attacking iran is a stupid idea and i believe you also called for direct negotiations do you think we could see direct negotiations any time soon with chuck hagel in the ministration well if he i think that that former senator hagel has taken courageous positions on iran on a range of issues and i admire them and respect them and the concern i have is that he is being nominated for the wrong job to carry out those positions his defense secretary if he is or if he is if he's approved to be as defense secretary he will not be the person in charge of creating or implementing strategies of iran or any other foreign policy issue. he will be he will be at the defensive. i mean doing quintessentially defense secretary things in this environment which is to cut the budget and try to keep the united states out of another war now that peace try to keep the united states out of another war could have impact here but the problem is he what he could pote
